Sometimes I think it's ridiculous the stuff we don't get on us models, but then I think about the fact that we must be getting smoking deals on vehicles if the go to the work to cut such minute parts from the assembly process.

I am looking for the carpet for under the floor as in the first reply.

Please note that the "tray" is actually "formed carpet" rather than any type of "hard "tray" that it may appear as in these photos. I have the exact same as shown in these pictures and am interested in selling it as I have ordered the spare tire kit from the dealer and could always remove mine. I know that some have simply put their spare right on top of the carpet so that was what I had been planning but if I could sell it and recover some of the cost for the spare I had to order, I am all for it.

I am open to selling it to you for $100 which would save you over 30% ($55). It also looks like it it currently secured with some of those plastic clips (#17). I have no idea if those would be reusable or not but they look very inexpensive even if you had to get new ones from the BMW parts desk (Of course, I would send you mine if they are reusable). We would just need to work out shipping cost (probably about the same as you would have paid in taxes) and shipping method as it is a bit bulky. However, it would be very lightweight so that should help keep those cost down. Private message me if this is something you would be interested in.

AutoUnion...I've searched repeatedly and can't find a link to the bold on lid mechanism (assumed to be a hydraulic piston of sorts). I'm probably brain dead on my search capabilities today , but do you by chance have the linK?

I originally ordered my x5d with the spare tire because i was planning to get non rft snow tires to swap during the winter because the 20" wheels would not do well in any snow condition when trying to stop going down the steep hill near my house. I was able to find a set of barely used 18" RFT snows on OEM bmw wheels so I took out the spare tire and jack and replaced it with the luggage compartment pan. There are two part numbers for this part depending if you have the tie down tracks(storage compartment package) or not.
